003 | The ruins of a small hut on the Summit of an arable Knoll at the Butt of Lewis. It is about twenty feet long and 12 wide, and supposed to be of great antiquity. It is said to have been built by a person called Ronaid by whom and his sister it was inhabited. The supposition that it was a church appears to be fabulous as it is not born out by Either tradition or appearances. It is said the Island of Rona also received its name from this individual who with his sister viisited it on the back of a large Whale. No part of the walls is no standing. |
